Consider the reaction N2O4(g)→2NO2(g) where N2O4 is colorless and NO2 is brown. At a temperature of 5∘C, the reaction is colorless at equilibrium. This indicates that the equilibrium constant for this reaction at this temperature is View Available Hint(s) Consider the reaction where is colorless and is brown. At a temperature of 5, the reaction is colorless at equilibrium. This indicates that the equilibrium constant for this reaction at this temperature is zero, because equilibrium can only be obtained at A. room temperature. B. large. C. negative. D. small (< 1).

Hey there!:

Answer is small (less than 1).

Keq = [NO2]² / [N2O4]

At equilibrium concentration of NO2 is very less and concentration of N2O4 will be more. hence equilibrium constant will be less than one

Hope this helps!
